This light challenge is more difficult than I expected. (Isn’t this always so!). I often think of the fall of light on an animal or object when I am engaged in capturing it. Yet, because I was always more focused on the thing, I’ve not thought of the light itself as a thing to photograph. Which is why this is an excellent exercise. Difficult, but excellent.

This is daybreak on an oak branch, strong, sturdy, supportive.
